The next day at college...
"What the heck, girl? You went on a date but didn't get laid by him? Seriously? I thought you'd at least have some fun with that handsome dude," Eira exclaimed loudly, not caring about their surroundings."Oh, come on, Eira. Stop with your dirty mind. I don't want to gossip about that. You know that's not my style," Amethysta said, covering Eira's mouth and glancing around nervously. Currently, they were in the college canteen, discussing their encounter with the handsome alpha from the previous night."He must be of foreign blood," Eira speculated."Nah, he's of mixed blood," Amethysta corrected her."Holy..." Before Eira could let out an exclamation, Amethysta quickly covered her mouth and hushed her."That's why he looked so attractive, like a total catch. If I were you, I'd have had a one-night stand with that alpha," Eira gushed over the young alpha who had shown interest in her friend. Amethysta rolled her eyes in annoyance."You have a fiancé, for goodness' sake. Don't entertain dirty thoughts," Amethysta scolded."Can I trade my fiancé for your handsome alpha, then?" Eira teased with a playful eyebrow wiggle. Amethysta slammed her hand on the table and stood up."Let's go. It's time for class," she declared, pulling her friend with her, putting an end to their playful banter."Boring bitch," Eira muttered under her breath as she followed her friend.Their day passed uneventfully. After their classes were done for the day, they stepped outside and saw Amethysta's dad and Eira's driver waiting for them. They first rushed to greet Amethysta's dad."Hi, Uncle! How have you been? It feels like it's been ages since we last saw each other," Eira greeted the elder with a warm smile."Hello, young lady. Indeed, it has been a while. I'm doing well. And I heard that your family plans to announce your engagement soon," Patrick mentioned, causing Eira to chuckle nervously as she glanced at Amethysta, who was already shooting her a disapproving look."You... you didn't even bother to tell me about it," Amethysta expressed her disappointment at her friend for keeping such a significant piece of news from her."I'm really sorry. It was a last-minute decision. There's a party in two days to announce it officially. My family has already sent you and Uncle an invitation," Eira explained, her eyes glistening with sincerity. Amethysta wasn't pleased that her friend had kept her in the dark about the impending engagement party, especially with only two days left."Fine... Why should I even care? It's not like it's my wedding," Amethysta sulked in an exaggerated manner, turning the situation into one of their typical dramatic exchanges. After some playful bickering, the two friends left the college.On their way home..."So, little one, what did you learn today?" Patrick asked with affection, as if he were doting on his daughter at that moment."Nothing interesting, Dad... just the usual," Amethysta replied casually."In the next two days, I'll be quite busy. Can you handle it?" Patrick inquired."Of course, I can. It's not like it's something new for you to leave me alone," she responded with a hint of annoyance, rolling her eyes. Patrick looked at his daughter with concern, her violet eyes clearly reflecting her irritation. Despite his busy schedule, he always tried to find time to spend with her.Two days flew by, and now Patrick and Amethysta were getting ready for the party."Are you ready or not, Darling? We're running late!" Patrick called from downstairs, adjusting his attire."Two more minutes, Dad. I'll be down in a moment," she shouted in response. After those two minutes, she descended the stairs, and as Patrick looked at his grown-up daughter, he theatrically wiped away fake tears."Enough with the drama, Dad. Let's go before we're late," she urged."Who's the one taking forever to get ready?" Patrick teased, earning a giggle from his daughter. They left their mansion, and after a short drive, the car pulled up at the party venue. They presented their invitations and entered."Finally, you're here! I've been dying to see you," Eira said dramatically, pretending to wipe away tears, and moved as if to hug her best friend."Don't you dare hug me! I'm still upset with you. You owe me something," Amethysta stopped Eira abruptly, a hint of cruelty in her tone as she pouted."Yeah, yeah, I get it. Just tell me what you want, Your Highness," Eira playfully bowed, and Amethysta chuckled. They shared a warm, tight hug before breaking away."You girls enjoy yourselves. I'll be heading out," Patrick said, preparing to leave the party. Eira grabbed Amethysta and headed straight for the buffet."By the way, where's your fiancé? I haven't seen him since I arrived," Eira asked."Who knows?" Eira replied with a mouthful of cupcake."He's your fiancé," Amethysta pointed out with a laugh."I doubt that," Eira replied with a hint of doubt in her voice."What do you mean?" Amethysta raised an eyebrow, curious."He's not acting like someone with a fiancée. I mean, anyone with a fiancée would at least try to flirt with them, right? But look at mine, he's just focused on his business," Eira vented her frustration, and Amethysta had to cough to hide her laughter at Eira's exaggerated statements."He didn't even spare a glance at me. I'm starting to wonder if he's even interested in girls," Eira blurted out, waving her hands in the air to release her frustration."Eira... I think you should be careful with your words," Amethysta coughed, trying to give her friend a subtle hint."What... I'm just speaking the truth. He doesn't even check out the hot girls in front of him. I seriously doubt he's any good in bed," Eira continued to express her doubts, not noticing the figure approaching her from behind."Let's see if I can meet your expectations," Mateo whispered near Eira's neck, causing her to shiver. She turned to find her fiancé standing just inches away. She had really messed up this time, and the cupcake she had eaten earlier seemed to have lodged itself in her throat."You two enjoy your privacy," Amethysta quickly excused herself, sensing the tension. Mateo was clearly offended by Eira's words."Amethysta, you traitor..." Eira muttered, refusing to even look at her fiancé in the face."Mateo... Let's talk... It's just a misunderstanding," Eira stammered in an attempt to clear the air."Oh, yeah... Let's talk... But let's do it in bed and clear up that misunderstanding," Mateo replied with a suggestive tone, leading Eira away.After slipping away from the scene, Amethysta left the venue and began walking wherever her feet took her. She eventually stood before a lake, which gave off an eerie vibe, but she paid it little heed. A cold breeze sent shivers down her spine, but then she felt warmth enveloping her. She turned around and was stunned."We meet again, Princess," Isaias greeted with a warm smile. Unbeknownst to Amethysta, she believed it was Icarus with her, unaware of the existence of Icarus' twin brother."Mr. Icarus..." she began to say but then tilted her gaze up to see the person in front of her, realizing it was him, her heart involuntarily racing."Yes, Princess?" Isaias responded calmly."What... What are you doing here? This is the pack's territory. What if..." she began to express her concern, but he placed his index finger on her rosy lips to silence her. Amethysta felt unfamiliar with this man standing before her, her intuition telling her that something was different about him.Her intuition was correct. It wasn't Icarus but Isaias, the identical twin brother of Icarus. Their striking resemblance made it difficult for her to discern between them, especially since she wasn't accustomed to anyone's presence around her like theirs."This area doesn't fall within the pack's territory, Princess. The exact radius ends right there," Isaias pointed out a specific spot, and after realizing this, Amethysta chuckled."You're absolutely right, Mr. Icarus. May I inquire what brings you here at this hour?" she asked, hugging the coat closer to herself."What about you, Princess?" Isaias replied, his voice sending a strange flutter through her heart and stomach."I came here because of my friend, but she abandoned me. They're inside discussing pack matters, which isn't really my cup of tea. So I decided to get some fresh air," Amethysta explained, letting out a sigh. Isaias's eyes seemed to be fixated on her lips, which occasionally tempted him to bite."You didn't tell me why you're here," she added, her curiosity piqued."I came here to reminisce about my memories," Isaias revealed as they began to walk. Amethysta snuggled against his coat, inhaling the pleasant scent, unaware that it was his pheromones affecting her."You used to live here?" she asked with an intrigued tone, puzzled by the fact that he had mentioned being of mixed blood before. Her mind was filled with questions, and she felt like she was on a rollercoaster of emotions."Yes, Princess, we lived here. My mother used to bring me here often. I have vivid memories of those days. It was a beautiful part of my past," Isaias said, his tone carrying a hint of sadness. Amethysta was unsure how to react to this revelation."If you used to live here, why did you leave?" Amethysta inquired, her gaze fixed on Isaias, who carried an air of solemnity."It's our fate, Princess," Isaias sighed heavily, as though weighed down by a dark history. This revelation left Amethysta feeling a mix of pity and unease, prompting her to create a bit of distance between them. She couldn't deny that she didn't quite trust this man, despite the captivating aura he exuded."Why do you keep calling me Princess? That night, you called me Angel, and now it's Princess?" Amethysta questioned, her confusion evident. Isaias chuckled, finding amusement in her innocence."Because you are a princess," Isaias stated, causing Amethysta's cheeks to flush. She shook her head, trying to dismiss the flattery. However, their conversation was interrupted by Isaias' phone ringing."Excuse me, Princess," Isaias said, excusing himself as his phone rang. Amethysta nodded in acknowledgment, and he moved a few steps away to answer the call, having a
Eira's face twisted with disgust as she spoke, her voice filled with unease. "Even the mention of that lake makes me queasy. Didn't our uncle warn us about it?"Amethysta replied calmly, attempting to soothe her friend's exaggerated reaction. "He did mention it yesterday, but there's no reason to get worked up. The lake seems harmless and peaceful. I'm not afraid to go there."Eira scoffed, clearly uninterested in discussing the lake any further. "Alright, forget it. Now, spill the beans about this guy you went on a date with."Amethysta hesitated, finding the encounter rather peculiar. "Well, it was odd. One day, he called me 'Angel,' and the next, 'Princess.' It's almost like he's two different people, even though he looks exactly the same as he did in the bar."Eira chuckled, seeing through her friend's confusion. "Oh, you naive thing. It's pretty clear he's into you. That's why he keeps coming back."Amethysta shook her head, dismissing the idea. "You've got to be kidding. He prob
It was 10:30 in the morning at the Infiniti Mall, and Eira, accompanied by a whiny baby, strolled happily through its corridors."Why are you dragging me along? If you're meeting your fiancé, why am I here? I don't want to be a third wheel in your lovey-dovey moment," Amethysta complained."Shut up and come with me," Eira retorted. "I got word that he'll be at the mall for surveillance. I want to meet him. I can't even see him at his company.""So you want me to come along?" Amethysta clarified."Yup," Eira affirmed.Proudly declaring her intentions, Eira led the way as they searched for Mateo."Hello, Angel," Icarus's voice suddenly rang out, causing Amethysta to freeze in her tracks. Both she and Eira turned to see the handsome man standing before them.Mateo's presence also caught Eira's attention. "You go with your date. I'm going to see my fiancé," Eira said, pushing Amethysta, causing her to stumble into Icarus."Be careful, Angel," Icarus said, steadying her with a gentle touch
In one corner, a silent atmosphere filled the air as a family enjoyed their time together. Meanwhile, on the other side, the curious double bunny was persistently nagging her alpha fiancé.Amethysta stood like a statue, lost in her thoughts, until her friend arrived with her poker-faced fiancé.Elsewhere, a man excused himself from his family and headed to the washroom. Unbeknownst to him, two hooded men followed closely behind. These two men were none other than Icarus and Isaias.Icarus taunted, "Seems like you're having a great time with your family after ruining someone else's. How heartless of you, Mr. Assistant, or should I say, Mr. Ex-Assistant?"The man flinched at Icarus's words, then turned to see two young alphas confronting him."Who... Who are you two?" he stammered, clearly taken aback.Isaias scoffed, saying, "Oh, come on, don't play dumb. You would have heard about us when you got the news about Jonathan."David, still feigning ignorance, responded, "I don't know what
"That girl... She's been spoiled by her family. I need to have a talk with them," Patrick muttered, growing frustrated with Eira's behavior. Little did he know about the alpha who had showered his daughter with dresses."Oh, Dad, don't be so strict with us," she whined, capturing the attention of a particular individual in the room."Alright, alright, go freshen up and come back down," Patrick sighed.She hummed and retreated upstairs. Meanwhile, Patrick approached the unfamiliar person and initiated a conversation. A few minutes later, she returned, dressed in a casual outfit carefully chosen by Isaias."Amethysta, meet Laurent... He is our pack leader's son," Patrick introduced his daughter to the pack leader's son."Hello, Mr. Striebeck. It's a pleasure to meet you," she greeted politely, her warm smile gracing her lips."It's equally nice to meet you, Miss Amethysta. Your father has spoken highly of you, but this is my first time seeing you. As he mentioned, you're quite beautiful
Isaias ended the call and turned to find his twin brother, Icarus, who was restraining David by covering his mouth. Isaias approached them casually, engrossed in his mobile phone."Gosh... You've got quite the set of pipes, huh? You startled our queen with your screaming. Can't you hold your tongue for a while?" Isaias asked irritably, his deadpan glare piercing through David, who had tears streaming down his face and numerous bruises on his body, indicating he had been severely beaten.As Icarus released David, the latter fell to the floor."Tut... Tut... He's made a mess of my hands," Isaias complained, shaking his hand as if it were tainted. He then took a tissue to clean his hands meticulously."We should teach him a lesson for startling our queen, shouldn't we?" Icarus suggested, his gaze meeting Isaias's, who sported a mischievous smirk on his lips.Isaias squatted down to David's level and yanked him up by his hair, causing David to scream in pain."What should we do with you?"
In the dimly lit corner of a cozy bar, Joseph found the perfect spot for himself and his twin friends, Icarus and Isaias. The bar was alive with laughter and chatter, but here, they could have their own space, away from the prying eyes and the cacophony of the world.Joseph hailed the bartender, a burly man with a friendly smile, and ordered three glasses of their favorite liquors. As the bartender poured the amber liquid into the glasses, Joseph looked at Icarus and Isaias with a warm smile. "Cheers, my buddies," he said, raising his glass."Cheers," Icarus and Isaias replied in unison, clinking their glasses with Joseph's. Icarus, the elder of the twins by a mere five minutes, took a sip of his drink and leaned back in his chair, his eyes distant. "You remember the time we visited this city with Mom, right?" he asked, a wistful smile playing on his lips.Isaias nodded, his gaze mirroring his brother's nostalgia. "Of course. How could I forget? It was one of the best times of our li
Dareen had always been a man of opulence, and his mansion reflected his grandeur. It stood as a testament to his success, with its towering columns and sprawling gardens. Inside, the marble floors gleamed, and the chandeliers cast a soft, warm glow, giving the mansion an air of both elegance and nostalgia.“Sir... Someone called Blake Martinez comes to see you.” One of the servants informed him. Dareen received an unexpected visitor. He never expected that his old friend would come to meet him. “Direct him to my study...” Dareen said He was sitting in his study, engrossed in a stack of paperwork, when the door swung open. He looked up, and there, standing in the doorway, was Blake Martinez, a long-lost friend from his past."Dareen?" Blake exclaimed, his eyes widening with disbelief. "Is that really you?"Dareen rose from his chair, his face breaking into a wide grin. "Blake! It's been twenty years, buddy. I can't believe you're here."The two old friends embraced, a surge of emotio
